Pet Peeve of the Day

Today's pet peeve (in case you were wondering):

When people say "I could care less about..."

People, it's supposed to be that you COULDN'T care less about whatever. Saying you could care less implies that you still care...

Getting that off my chest felt good. Thank you. I'll get back to cleaning, which I couldn't care less about right now. :)

Graham and I have had this discussion ourselves and completely agree. I used to say "could care less" until he brought that to my attention. Now, I say "couldn't care less" and feel very good about it! Maybe together we can change the world's use of this term.

Yes, then you will be perfect in my eyes... ha ha. I know, who knew? For whatever reason bad grammar is annoying to me... Mrs Bolla would be proud.
